Proverbs 3:19-22 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens. By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
When we feel far from God, it is not God who moved. The wonderful virtues which have founded the earth; the understanding which has established the heavens forever; and the knowledge that breaks the deep and prepares the morning dew; these are all at our disposal.
To be able to benefit from these wonderful powers, for them to become life to our souls and grace to our necks, we are asked only one thing: let them not depart from thine eyes.
King David knew that; he said: I will not set any evil thing before mine eyes.
We are responsible for what we watch; we even have remote ‘control’ of our TV. Yes, the world is full of evil, but there is no one to force us to watch anything on the internet that we do not want to. We are free to buy whatever book and magazine we want to. We also have reviews available to help us choose movies.
What then keeps us from keeping sound wisdom and discretion?
